ankh_hplToday is the ten-year anniversary of the "deorbit" (read: spectacular flaming destruction) of Mir, the Russian space station whose fate was sealed by the construction of the International Space Station.
For more information about this sad event, including photo of Mir's death over the South Pacific, go here.
For my sonnet "Reflections In a Fading Mir," which was inspired by the news of its impending demise, check out the Mythic Delirium archives here.
(Truth in advertising: this sonnet also appears in my Sam's Dot collection, Wild Hunt of the Stars. It placed second in the short form Rhysling Awards for 2001.)
